We've prepared a detailed list of options and forwarded those to the AFL. Whether any of those options can be realized won't be known until someone follows up on our report to the AFL. There are some alternative ways to getting into most Canadian homes although I'd agree that none of them are as good as CTV Sportsnet or TSN would be.

> Is that why it was too much money for them to swallow?

No one is saying exactly but I would suspect that based on CTVSN's comments that it was very low. Since FOX owns 20% of CTVSN they had an agreement to provide their programming to CTVSN in preference over other outlets. I'd be guessing but the price for that programming probably escalates year by year.
